I write poems for fun, and thought this was a good outlet. Not much else to it.
Only within the arms of someone you love Can be achieved the sole goal of mankind To grasp hold the gift that comes from above To say “I love you” and see their face shine Only within the arms of someone you love Can sadness abide beyond what you can bear So you let them soften the pain you’re made of As you find comfort in their grip resting there Only within the arms of someone you love Can you be in a transcendent ecstasy In paradise as pure as the holy white dove The love in their eyes the only thing you see Only in the arms of someone you love Can dwell something fragile and yet so strong Only in the arms of someone you love Can echo the joys of your love’s beautiful song

Only Within the Arms of Someone You Love
Your eyes I look deep into them as if I'm looking Into the deepest depths of the ocean And the slightest change of your emotion Is like a fish flitting quickly about And it reveals itself only for me to see But now Something has changed Your eyes Burn me and wreck me and break me apart I look into them and see not love But only the darkness seen from far above By other people not inside your soul's sea And the distance slowly breaks my heart And now again Something has changed Your eyes Invite me in their depths now fully opened They reveal me the breadth of your thoughts And I see the beautiful ocean’s deep as I ought I reside for a moment in this blissful peace Then I realize the fish are no longer swimming in Your eyes Empty now Gazing back up at me

your eyes
Complacently living in an unspoken word Because letting it out is too absurd And living with this is easier than Falling and starting from where we began Because I can’t acknowledge this trial So I hide the feelings of which it’s compiled Running from shame and running into it No one is here to help block this conduit I'm confused and unsure of what I can do Relying on ideas I know are untrue My emotional foundation is so unstable Because I base all of it on you

Instability
Help me to be free. I live locked inside a cage of culture The box given to me by society Circled at birth by my own ethereal vulture Always stalking me ever so quietly Help us to be free. We walk through the same old mazes As we laugh at the lab rats so oblivious Knowing we’re so similar never does faze us It covers up the reality far too hideous Help them to be free. You must understand the one release The only true escape from this hamster wheel A swift realization and blanketing peace Understanding the truth lies not in what we feel But looking within Sets us free.

To Be Free
Just take one look At the vibrance all around Just one moment To see the life in the ground Enjoy those things The growth below and above Hold someone tight Take them and bask in their love

One Moment
It’s those heathen ************* Who have life so nice and easy They go and find their broken lovers But all I find is love broken in pieces So what makes my life so **** hard, And theirs such a ******* breeze? I work so hard to play my part And they get ****** in blissful peace I’ll never have a sinner’s heart But sometimes I can’t swim these seas Though their soul is falling apart Sometimes my mind needs that release

Struggling
I have so much pain and so much rage Toward the one who built this cage But look, surprise! That person is me And all the pain will not be free Until I can grasp what makes it run And forgive myself for what I’ve done It just sounds like a regular time But it’s very different, this pain is mine.

Cage
I must need only desire one release But too many other musts and needs Get in the way of my desired life So my soul tips on the blade of a knife Oh how sad the human condition One big mess of love and perdition Yet sadness drives us to change it all To lose ourselves in Love’s faithful fall We fall into that gentle embrace Removing our mind from that sad place Bringing us something new and unique Not of the world, but what we truly seek To repair our hearts and mend our minds That needed release we desire to find

The Human Condition
Have you ever gone around The places up above And lifted from the ground The dirt we’re made of Just examined its feeling Its veiled vitality And pondered the deep meaning Its symbolic mortality We’re stuck in this single plane Existence without purpose And a life less exciting Not seeing the underlying Truth that this life we live Always has some more to give If only we would look up And look upon the stars lighting up Vivifying the sky in all of its splendor Attesting the glory of its creator

Dirt
It’s like I want to be creative But I can’t seem to be free ranging Every way I twist and turn The rhymes just simply cage me In this box of indignation My frustrated contemplation Over something so enraging As rhyming with enraging! But I just dance and tumble And all the time I stumble Over that block of writers woe As my brain is hooked up to a tow I'm pulled in every wrong direction And I get farther from discovering And farther from recovering From this writer’s block infection So I’m left to search my consciousness To remove that tiny pompous wrench That gets in the way of creativity And ruins all my poetic activity
